Gems of the Maldivian Sky I.: THE MILKY WAY

Petr Horálek – famous astrophotographer and popularizer of astronomy, also awarded by NASA – was staying in Amazing view guesthouse at the turn of February and March 2022. Petr specialises in photographing rare night-sky phenomena. His images capture unique moments, which he calls “pearls of astronomy”, that add to the immeasurable beauty of a dark starry sky. Something he thinks that everyone should see at some point in their lives.

Petr offered to prepare for our former, current and future guests an interesting talk about these gems that can be seen in the night sky over the Maldives and to complement it with his own photographs. Thank you very much Petr.

How can I help protect corals

I am writing you from Thoddoo, a beautiful island in the Maldives. Thoddoo is a local island that has only become popular in the last decade. In 2014 there have only three guesthouses on the whole island, today there are fifty.
